“Blessed are those who know how to detach themselves from their possessions and their power so as to put them at the service of the needy.”
Pope John Paul II in homilies in New York City, October 1979 and Recife, Brazil, July 1980 as recounted in A Justice Prayer Book: With Biblical Reflections, 10.
With today’s meditation I honor my sister, Heather. It’s her birthday, and it captures her life. She has detached from power and possessions to care for her two sons, her loving husband, and others around her with Christian love. Happy birthday, Heather!
